  Speaker 2: Of the week.

  Speaker 1: with the man who is sitting here with me virtually. That,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: of course, is head coach Jeremy Edwards of the Hoco Bears.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: Coach, good morning. How are you?
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: Good morning, Phil. I'm doing good. How are you?
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: I'm doing great.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: It was an exciting weekend of high school football all
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: across the state. You guys were right there, uh, as
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: part of that coach, congratulations, a big win for you guys, uh,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: this past weekend.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it really was. Um, anytime that you can, you
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: can get a region win, that's obviously a plus, but
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: then to, to beat a in-county rival, um, at their
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: place is even, even sweeter. Um, And, you know, our
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: guys handled business on Friday night and on to the
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: next one.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: So I guess we'll talk about on to the next one,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: but let's talk about the performance this past Friday night.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: What was it that stood out?
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Share with the fans out there watching this work that
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: were not able to make it.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean, you know, we– we're able to really
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: kind of control the game offensively. We, we punted one
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: time the entire game.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: Um, that's always a good thing.
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah. We had one turnover that we wish you'd get back,
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: kind of misfired on a throw and they were able
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: to pick it off. Kid made a good play. Um,
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: you know, I thought, I thought our kids played well
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: or ever run the ball where we were able to
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: pass the ball and, uh, protect well. And, uh, you know, um, Uh, we,
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: you know, their quarterback, um, he's fine. Uh, he, he
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: got knocked out of the game and, um, you know, obviously, uh, uh,
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: someone that was part of our program that left our program,
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: went to North side and unfortunately sustained a hit and knocked,
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: knocked him out of the game. And, um, but he's okay,
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: which is, which is a, which is a blessing and good.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: Cause it was a, it was a, it, it was a,
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: you know, uh, Football, you know, normal hit, but, you know,
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: the kid kind of took it under the chin, I think,
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: and was able to, you know, they had to take
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: him out on a stretcher, and so it was kind
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: of scary for a moment.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: But he was checked on him and checked with his
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: parents over the weekend, and he's going to be okay.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: I know he wanted to get out there and compete,
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: but they brought in their backup quarterback, and, heck, he
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: played really solid and, you know, another kid that was
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: a part of our program. So, uh, kind of ironic
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: of that, but, um, you know, the, uh, he, he
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: came in and kind of was able to run their
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: offense and they were able to move the ball and
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: do some things and they made it, uh, closer than
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: probably we had wanted to at times. And, uh, but
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: offensively we were able to just kind of pull away
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: in the second half. We settled down at halftime defense,
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: did a great job of trying to figure out what
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: they were doing, trying to do with the other quarterback
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: in and, um, you know, held them to seven points
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: in the second half. So, you know, uh, the adjustments
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: were made. That's what coaching's all about is going in
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: and making the adjustments. And our defensive staff did a
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: great job of that. And, uh, you know, came out
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: in the second half and really kind of shut them down. And,
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: and we were able to kind of pull away to, uh, uh,
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: 56 to 35, 35 Friday night.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: So, yep.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was good. Um, Good for our kids in
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: the rival game and good for our region game win. And,
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: you know, it's always fun to win.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Well, always fun to win, Coach.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Especially fun to win against your cross town, cross county rivals,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: whatever you want to say. And you guys are in
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: an interesting situation. And by that, I mean, you know,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: just about every team, with a few exceptions, have got
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: like an in-town, cross-town, or cross-county rival. Or maybe it's
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: that rival that's one county over. You guys are even more.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: What's the word I'm looking for?
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: I guess it creates even more rivalry, Coach, in that
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: you've got several teams that are located within the boundary
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: of Houston County. And that means you've got not just
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: one big rival, but you've got at least a couple.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Talk about that, the uniqueness of that.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, we're a five-county or five-high school system,
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: you know.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: Five high schools. And so, yeah, I mean, we obviously
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: aren't able to play all of them. We wish we were.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: In the past, we always have. And hopefully that can change.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: In the future, we'd like that. Some things, you're out
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: of your control. We get to play veterans in Northside
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: as a part of our region. Being able to handle
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: business against those two teams this year has been positive.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: You get a whole year of bragging rights, I guess,
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: if you will, with that kind of thing. It makes
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: it to where You know, we play a lot of
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: one-horse towns. We're clearly not a one-horse town. You know,
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: we got five high schools. And so, you know, we
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: got what we got, you know, that live within our zone.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: And we coach them up, and we try to control
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: what we can control.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: I want to give a big shout-out to a couple
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: of people.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Downtown Ronnie Brown, who, of course, is the super fan
• 6:02

• 6:44
  Speaker 1: And now as Jeremy reminded us last week, as coach
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: reminded us last week, location in Macon as well to
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: better serve you.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: So two big super fans, two big supporters and those guys, right?
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: Yes, sir. We certainly appreciate their support.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. So I'll talk about some of the playmakers.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Look, it's not often you see a quarterback who's able
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: to complete almost 80% of his passes, but that's exactly
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: where Ryan Maxwell is.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Is it right now?
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: Ryan, Ryan played a good game. Like I said, we, we,
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: we kind of missed our target, um, missed a little
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: inside on a stop route to the field. The kid
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: was able to pick it off. But other than that,
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: he played really, really well, made good decisions with the football. And, um,
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: You know, and they had, they got good players at Northside,
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: you know, great, you know, defensive lineman. He's a super 11,
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: Elijah Patman. He's a great player, plays both ways, which
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: is impressive. I told him that after the game, had
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: a lot of respect for the, the amount of snaps
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: he played at eye level, you know, and so we
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: want our, our offensive line really played well, you know,
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: they were able to keep Ryan clean the whole night,
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: you know, there's pressure on him and, Austin was able
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: to run for over a hundred yards again. And we
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: had 200 yard receivers, Braylon Womack and, uh, Messiah Holiday
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: had great games. And so, you know, uh, it was a,
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: it was a good night for those guys. A lot
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: of those guys, um, are seniors, Ryan's not a senior,
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: but two, uh, wide outs are seniors and the running
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: backs are senior. And for them to be able to
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: go out, um, over at the Mac and play that well, um,
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: you know, it was really, really special for them. And,
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: You know, again, winning isn't something we take for granted.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: And we enjoyed the win. But 24 hours, we're back
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: to work on the next opponent.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: The 24-hour rule.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: I'm glad and thankful that you allow us to extend that.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: A few hours, being that we're not able to talk
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: to you on Saturday. I mean, I guess we could.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: But anyway, appreciate you allowing us some free time to
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: extend that particular deadline.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: But I get it.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: 24 hours, time to flip the page, whatever you want
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: to call it. And we're going to get into that
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: here in just a second, talking about the next opponent.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: But as always, Austin Stinson, man, what a weapon he
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: is on offense, Coach.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he sure is. And he's nearing, you know, a
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: single season mark for most rushing yards in a season
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: in the school history, which is a great accomplishment. He
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: would– I don't know where he's at, 50 yards or
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: so from that, you know, held by Ryan Talib, a
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: kid that played for us in, you know, my first
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: couple years here that's at Cincinnati now. And so, yeah,
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: I mean, he's playing really well. He's getting, you know, 20,
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: 25 carries a game. And, you know, he'll rip off
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: explosive plays and break tackles and do great things and
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: does a great job in pass protection. He's just an
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: all-around great player.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: All right, Coach. So, again, big win, 56-35 over.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: Northside.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: But, as you mentioned, you've got a big one coming up.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: This is actually the regular season finale. And it is
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: a team, a coach that you're no strangers to that
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: will be Lee County.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: We, uh, we get, get to go down to, uh,
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: Leesburg on Friday night and, uh, make, make the travel
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: down there and hope that we'll have a big crowd
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: that'll come down and support our guys. And I know
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: that we will and should be a good night for football. Absolutely.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Talk about these challenge that Lee County presents.
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean, they're solid, uh, in all three phases,
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: you know, they, um, You know, offensively, they've got some weapons.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: You know, the tight end is committed to Clemson. The
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: receiver's committed to Texas A & M. And, you know,
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: they got the kid that moved in playing quarterback from
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: Caulkwood County. He's been playing solid.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: Kind of a running back by committee. They just roll
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: a bunch of guys through there. Sometimes they'll put the
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: Upshaw kid back there, too.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: Defensively, you know, a lot of senior players in the front.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: You know, on the D line, uh, a couple of seniors,
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: and then they've got the two linebackers that are really solid,
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: played a lot of football for them. Um, you know,
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: and then, uh, the secondary, you know, they've got all the, the, uh,
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: the accolades, um, you know, they got all the measurables
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: and things like that. And, um, you know, they're, they're
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: good players. And so we got a lot of respect
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: for what they do. We got a lot of, I
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: got a lot of respect for coach Fabrizio. He's, um,
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: He's done a really, really nice job with that program
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: over the course of, shoot, it seems like 20 years now.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: I mean, I know it's probably 15, 16. I don't know.
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: He would know the answer to that. But, you know,
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: he's done a really good job. They're consistent every single year. And,
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: you know, it's not going to be an easy game.
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: It's going to be a challenge, but a challenge we're
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: looking forward to.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Talking to the head coach of the Hoco Bears, the
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Houston County Bears. Of course, it's Jeremy Edwards joining us
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: as he does every week right here at ITG Next. So, Coach,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: as far as the scenarios go, I know it's a
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: little bit different. Actually, it's a lot different this year,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: but you guys right now stand at 3-2 in the region.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: That's tied with coffee at 3-2. Lee County's 4-1. Of course,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: we know that Thomas County Central has clinched the region,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: but talk about what this game means as far as
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: implications and as far as the, uh, the post season
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: and the region itself.
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, you, we go down and get a win.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: You obviously pretty much assure yourself a, uh, a home
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: playoff game. Yeah.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: That is about all I could tell you. That's probably a,
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: would be a guarantee. Um, other than that, it's all
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: up to the computers and all the formulas and all
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: that stuff that they're doing now. But, um, You know,
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: so that's a big thing to play for right there
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: if you want to have another home game. At some
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: point we thought that when we had three more games left,
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: if we were to get two out of three, we
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: would assure a home game. But that doesn't look to
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: be the case with where we stand right now in
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: the PSR. But, again, these are some things that we
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: can't control, can't go back and replay any of the
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: games that we probably felt like we– Could have gotten wins.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: But, you know, it's made us better as a team.
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: It's brought us closer as a team. The adversity has
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: taught us a lot as players and coaches. And, you know,
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: I feel like we're playing really, really good football right now.
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: And this is the time that you want to play
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: really good football. And, you know, we'll see. Show up
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: Friday night and we'll see what happens.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: You're talking about Lee County's run game. Obviously, you know,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: in the past, they've kind of had that one kind
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: of go-to back. You mentioned earlier, they're more of a
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: running back by committee, but still nevertheless, one of the
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: more potent rushing attacks in all the region and really
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: the state.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: Sure. Yeah.
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: I mean, they, they do a great job. Their offensive
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: line coach is phenomenal. And, uh, you know, he does
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: a really good job in, in getting those guys coached up.
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: They're really big up front. Yeah, they are, you know,
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: which is pretty much every year. And so they, they
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: always look the same up front. Sometimes I feel like
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: those guys never graduate. Yeah, but they, but you're right. They,
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: they do a great job running the, running the ball,
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: which opens up the pass and, and in order to
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: be successful and, sustain success, you've got to, you've got
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: to have that formula and they certainly got that going.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: We're closing out with coach Jeremy Edwards, head coach of the,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: the Hoco bears. So do you, speaking of the, the, the,
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: the numbers, the computers and all that stuff, how much
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: attention do you pay to that?
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: Like the PSR?
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: I mean, we look at it. I mean, it's, it's different,
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: you know, whereas we, you know, at this point would
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: probably be going into the playoffs as a, the way
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: it stands right now is potentially a four seed region
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: wise when it came to the old format. But now,
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: you know, you've got the, the new format, which takes
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: into account your opponents and their winning percentage and things
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: like that. And obviously it knows that the schedule we play,
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: the region we play is a second to really none.
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: And I agree with that, that, that, you know, our
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: record at right now sitting at five and four, you know,
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: to an outsider that has no clue about high school
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: football in Georgia may think, well, what a crappy year
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: that those guys are having, you know, if you judge
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: based on that. But, you know, besides really one game,
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: we've been in most all the games and those losses,
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: but we just haven't been able to finish in the
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: way that maybe we've done in the past. And so, again,
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: everything happens for a reason. We're trusting, you know, the
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: process and just, you know, trusting God's plan for this
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: football team and whatever is to be done will be done.
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: But we're going to give Lee County our best game
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: on Friday night. And kids are excited about it. And
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: it'll be a lot of fun.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: I'll say this as we close. Every team in a
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: season has that really good team.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: Game that best game that you know this is the
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: one you look back on as you know that was
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: our best performance coach i think y'all are still waiting
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: for that and what a better time than friday night
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: to have that finally uh happen for y'all i just
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: i'm a big believer in that you know everything comes
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: together at once and i think this might be y'all's
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: turn whatever goes up must come down yeah law of
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: physics and i think that applies well i know it
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: applies to uh, in life and football as well.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: And so I think it's kind of where you guys
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: are right now.
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, you know, really consistency is what we're preaching.
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: You know, we, we, we haven't really put a, a full,
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: you know, complimentary football game together where we played lights
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: out in all three phases. And so that's something that, uh,
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: you know, we've been working towards, but, you know, um,
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: at the end of the day, we, we, we coach
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: them up and, uh, our kids are having a lot
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: of fun. Um, you know, we really like being around our,
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: our kids and the senior class. And so we'd love
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: to extend this for as long as we possibly can,
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: but we know that, uh, all we can control is
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: going one to know this week. And so that's our focus.
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: You know, we're not looking at playoffs. We're not looking
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: at PSR. We're not worried about any of that. We
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: got to, we control what we control and that's going
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: down to Leesburg Friday night and playing, uh, Playing, giving
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: our personal best on every single snap for every six
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: seconds and then getting after it.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: Well, Coach, I want to wish you the best of luck. Also,
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: safe travels. That's a pretty long trip down there. You know,
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: kind of on some back state highway. So you guys
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: be careful. Make the trip safely, back home safely and
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: somewhere in there. Hopefully you guys can get the win.
• 18:33

• 18:33
